Senator says Buhari’s kitchen statement an x-ray of the soul

Senator Biodun Olujimi, Deputy Minority Whip of the Senate, has described as an x-ray of the soul, President Muhammadu Buhari description of his wife, Aisha as belonging to the Kitchen.

The senator stated this in a statement while responding to President Buhari’s comment adding that it should serve as a wakeup call for Nigerian women.

She said, “The statement is in very bad taste especially that it was said beside one of the most powerful women in the world. It is an x-ray of the soul, a statement of fact that reflects the composition of this government and the disdain to which women are held by the president and this government.

“We thank God that women have seen better leaders. By the way, we will not be daunted in our resolve to better our situation. It’s wake up call for us.”
